Adam Lambert has been the center of controversy more than once and his latest comments are likely to cause yet more hype.

The For Your Entertainment glam-pop-rocker has spoken out about taking LSD before he rose to fame on American Idol – even revealing that he became inspired by taking the drug, as it helped him “find” himself.

Recalling his experience on the illegal substance, Lambert said: “My trip led me to some epiphanies about who I was as a performer, what I wanted to do and how I needed to create my own opportunities.

“When I got home, I started writing music with other people and went to the Idol audition.” Adam continued to say.

“The vision was about finding opportunities. I wasn’t sitting in the desert in rave-wear thinking about Simon Cowell when I was on acid.”
